Business driver

Edge computing leverages edge locations to distribute application loads among device/edge/cloud. A service layer is required to bridge infrastructure platform and applications. e.g. load distribution coordination, hardware platform agnostic, etc. KubeEdge extends native containerized application orchestration capabilities to hosts at Edge. Along with other vertical domain support such as device twin at edge, KubeEdge edge service stack is geared to offer feature rich support to applications while remain platform neutral.    


Business use cases

KubeEdge Edge service can be deployed at enterprise edge or as a cloud edge extension interfacing telco network. It offers support for following use cases:

  • ML offloading for inference and training in image recognition for mobile phones
  • Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) in operation field
  • Manufacture production line defect inspection
  • IoT gateway
  • Mobile Edge enabler  


Business Cost - Initial Build Cost Target Objective

KubeEdge is a software layer. Its managed applications can run on any kubernetes environment. Validated edge stack including hardware choices should have manageable cost suitable for edge deployment.
